Someone correct me if I am wrong, but Hondata is for OBD1 only? I believe, and AEM EMS is good for OBDII.

Hondata is OBD I but is probably a bit cheaper then the AEM EMS which is OBD II. Both have their plusses and minuses.

The initial cost of Hondata for an OBD2 car is higher than that of the EMS. However, the cost of tuning the systems usually favors Hondata since the system itself is very simple to use and the selection of base maps is excellent. Additionally, most will agree that Hondata is a much easier system to use. People have good results with the EMS, but it's not for the faint of heart.

The base maps for AEM EMS have been getting stronger, I believe both are good choices, and I think that the EMS will be a good choice for OBDII tuners who don't wish to go OBDI. There software is also getting more and more stable, and more and more basemaps are avaliable.

the latest release, aempro 3.16, is bug ridden and has a bad memory leak or something. stick with 3.15. its very good with a few bugs that most people cant even find.

go to http://www.aempower.com/bbs and go to Aempro forum to download.
